Android device management

One tap. Every device. Under control.

SkieOS lets schools, hostels and teams control every Android device from one dashboard. Install it, set the rules once, and every device follows them.

Security

Control that sits below the apps, where it cannot be removed.

Enforced by Android

SkieOS is installed as the Android device owner, the same management layer enterprises use for company fleets. Rules are applied by the operating system, not by an app a user can uninstall.

Blocked at the source

Factory reset, safe mode, developer options, VPN and DNS changes, certificate installs and unapproved installs are blocked. An app that gets through anyway is removed.

Seen the moment it happens

We do not claim attempts never happen. We make sure that when one does, the responsible admin knows immediately, with the device, the time and what was tried.

How it works

Simple enough for anyone to run.

  1. 1

    Set up your structure

    Create your organisation, schools, branches and classes or hostels. We help you do this the first time.

  2. 2

    Choose the rules once

    Pick which apps are allowed, when each mode applies and what browsing is allowed. Rules flow down from organisation to class.

  3. 3

    Connect the devices

    Pair each device from a phone or laptop. It joins its group and applies the rules before it is handed over.

  4. 4

    Change anything, anytime

    Need more apps for the next hour? One change reaches every device in the class straight away.

People

A dashboard for every level of your organisation.

Each person signs in to a portal scoped to what they manage. Nobody can see or change anything outside their level, and every change is recorded.

Daily schedule

The day runs itself.

Devices move between modes on their own. When a lesson needs extra apps, the teacher adds them for the whole class in one step.

  • MorningEssential apps only
  • School hoursSchool apps, nothing else
  • Study blockStudy apps and approved extras
  • NightEmergency calls only

Browsing

Chrome access you can trust for children.

Optional by group

Switch the browser off, restrict it, or allow it, group by group.

Filtering that sticks

Filtering and safe search are enforced on the device, and the browser cannot be used to get around them.

Devices

Software that works on the devices you have.

SkieOS runs on any Android 12 or newer phone or tablet, old or new. Existing devices are reset and set up once. If you want to buy devices, we are not a hardware company, but we will guide you to reliable suppliers and help plan the rollout. iOS support is coming soon.

  • Devices you already own
  • New devices from any brand
  • Phones and tablets
  • Rollout planning and hands-on setup support
  • Available in every country

Industries

Schools, institutes and hostels

Give every student a device that does one job. Teachers control the class, wardens control the night, and leadership sees the whole picture.

  • Student tablets and phones
  • Coaching and training institutes
  • Boarding schools and hostels

Teams and field operations

Lock company devices to the apps the job needs, keep them where they should be, and know at once if one is tampered with.

  • Field sales and service teams
  • Banks, finance and healthcare teams

Questions

Answers before you ask.

What is SkieOS?

SkieOS is Android device management software for schools, hostels and teams. It runs as the Android device owner, so the rules you set are enforced by the system itself. You control apps, settings, browsing and schedules for every device from one dashboard.

Which devices does SkieOS run on?

Any Android device running Android 12 or newer, including devices you already own. A device is set up once, and a device that already holds personal data must be reset first, because Android only allows device-owner management on a freshly set up device. iOS support is coming soon.

Do we have to buy hardware from you?

No. SkieOS is software. If you need to buy devices, we can guide you to suitable suppliers and help you plan the rollout, but you are free to use any compatible Android device.

Can students or staff turn it off or get around it?

SkieOS blocks factory reset, safe mode, developer options, VPN and DNS changes and unapproved installs at system level, and removes an app that gets through. Any attempt is reported to the right admins straight away, so you see it as it happens.

How do alerts work?

An attempt to bypass the rules, or a device that stops reporting, creates an alert for the people responsible for that group: teacher, HOD, principal or owner. From the alert you can sync the device or mark it resolved.

Can devices change mode during the day?

Yes. You define school hours, study blocks, breaks and night mode once, and devices switch on their own. You can also give a class extra apps for a single lesson in one step. A hostel can run a night mode that allows emergency calls only.

Who gets a login?

Everyone who manages devices. Teachers see their class, section heads and HODs see their branch, the principal sees the school, and the organisation owner sees everything. Each person only sees and changes what is within their level.

What about browsing?

Browser access is optional. You can turn it off, restrict it or allow it per group. When it is allowed, filtering and safe search are enforced and cannot be changed on the device.

How long does setup take?

A device is paired, installed and enrolled in a few minutes from a phone or a laptop, and the group's apps and rules apply during setup. Our team helps you plan and run the rollout for your organisation.

Where is SkieOS available and what does it cost?

SkieOS is available in every country. Pricing depends on the number of devices and the support you need, so please contact us for a quote.
